when consumers hear the brand name and brand message over and over within a period of time responding the same way to slightly different stimuli additions of related items to an established brand because they are likely to be adopted, since they come under a known and trusted brand name offering the same product in a different form but under the same brand marketing a whole line of products under the same brand name, which is a marketing application of stimulus generationalization contractually allows affixing a brand name to the products of another manufacturer applications of stimulus generalization:
